Washington, Jun 29: Mcallen police have arrested a 28 year old man Hector Castro for killing his 2 year old stepdaughter during the World Cup soccer game on Saturday, Jun 27 by jamming a screw down her throat in an attempt to make the slaying appear accidental.

According to the police, Toddler was crying when Castro was watching the football match, and so gave the girl a severe beating, cracking several of her ribs before suffocating her with a screw.

"Hector Castro, an illegal immigrant was arrested after firefighters and emergency medical personnel had been called to the house with reference to the girl's apparent choking on a screw", says Mcallen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.

"There is no words for this, but Hector will face the criminal action just like everybody else", says Rodriguez.
